Traingate Smear Falls Apart

[Solomon1]

Who didn't win the Democrat nomination. You might want to think a bit before making comparisons.

 

Like Jeremy Corbyn

 

Bernie Sanders would have spelled the end of gravy train

 

For Clinton establishment and wealthy elite

 

That monster ain't given up without a fight!

 

The US elections are rigged

 

And Hillary will win

 

People have been murdered for this end

Bernie Sanders might be more capable of organising a drinking session in a brewery than Corbyn.

 

Given that Corbyn is meant to be running a large organisation of great importance with a view to running the whole country the whole question of his competence is a bit of a problem.

 

The irony is

 

Jeremy Corbyn is HIGHLY electable

 

And the establishment is running scared

 

Hence the visciousness of the media attacks and spin

[Eater Sundae]

Jeremy Corbyn's only redeeming features were his honesty, and that he is a "spin free" zone.

 

Now that these have been blown out of the water, what's left?

[Solomon1]

Now that these have been blown out of the water, what's left?

 

No-one believes your attempted lies Eater Sundae

 

And everything that gets thrown at Jeremy's

 

Just another feather in his cap...

 

Because people know the TRUTH

 

Which is why the Labour party

 

Is now the LARGEST Social Democratic Party in EUROPE

 

Under Jeremy Corbyn's Leadership

[Stoatwobbler]

Jeremy Corbyn is HIGHLY electable

 

In what sort of parallel universe is Corbyn ever going to persuade enough people to vote Labour to bring them back into office?

 

This is exactly what I mean by cult like supporters who have convinced themselves that he is some sort of messiah despite all evidence to the contrary.

 

And when it doesn't pan out we get conspiracy theories.

 

It's enough to drive a man to the Liberal Democrats!

Mr Corbyn and his team aren't even capable of making proper travel arrangements.

Because people know the TRUTH

Indeed they do. The Guardian recreated Corbyn's journey yesterday

It certainly wasn’t ram-packed. Boarding Wednesday morning’s 11am train to Newcastle from Kings Cross, the same journey undertaken by Jeremy Corbyn on 11 August, anybody could have had their pick of seats.

 

Asking passengers on the train what they felt about Jeremy Corbyn and Traingate, Dave, a Labour supporter, said he had “strong views” and described the floor-sitting video statement as “opportunistic”. He felt that with all the money pouring into the Labour party, it was incompetent not to have reserved seats in advance.

 

Susan, travelling from London to Newcastle to visit her sister, had absolutely no time for Corbyn’s argument. “I’ve travelled on this line for 25 years,” she said. “I’ve never once not got a seat.”

 

Let's face it, this whole incident was a publicity stunt designed to highlight the capacity problems with the railways in the country. Most people know of the problems and think the railways should be re-nationalised. This should have been an open goal for Corbyn but incompetence meant that he turned what should have been a publicity coup into a publicity train wreck. How hard is it to pick a train from London that really is jam packed - there's loads of them every day. They chose to travel at a time of day when there are always seats on trains on that route. Anybody who uses trains regularly knows the times when there are most likely to be seats available - the fact that Corbyn and his team didn't begs the question 'how often to they actually use them?'

you really are clutching at straws again its unlikely to happen and hes not worried.

although personally i do think the railways and utilities should never have been privatised......blimey we might even agree here???

 

Shouldn't have been nationalised in the first place. Railways in the UK were all private operations before 1948.

In my experience, the most overcrowded trains are often the one serving the staunchly conservative home counties, and the commuters on those trains tend not to be Guardian readers by and large.

[geared]

While I don't disagree that the railways are in a right old state I still believe re-nationalisation will be a total disaster.
